What is the deadline in New Hampshire?
New Hampshire RSA 508:4 provides a 3-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims with the discovery rule applying from date of mesothelioma diagnosis. New Hampshire uses modified comparative fault with a 51% bar. Hillsborough County Superior Court handles Manchester-area asbestos cases. A lawyer can confirm yours.
Deadlines vary; a lawyer can confirm yours. An older diagnosis or a past filing window does not, by itself, establish whether you have a claim.

New Hampshire's historic industrial base — textile mills (Manchester was the largest cotton mill complex in the world), shoe manufacturing, and the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard (technically in Kittery, ME but serving NH workers) — created documented asbestos exposure for maintenance and construction workers.
